It also has a better type for this, too. One shots and lives a hit from Cornerstone ex. This will probably get tested in immunity / tank decks as an option.
Crustle, Dwebble from “Heat Wave Arena”

smh nobody here respecting my girl properly
TPC really trying to push random ass mons to boost their popularity. I get we can’t have the same 10 legendary fan favorite every set along with the poster child and cherry boy, but at least pick niche mons people know about or be creative. The Magmar and electivire pseudo team up cards around the camp fire from gen 8 is how you do it. Not Mr Krabs holding his hands up at gun point for tax evasion.
If they wanted to give an AR to this line again they could have given it to Dwebble instead since it hasnt had one yet
It’s weird that so many Pokémon that already had Art Rares or SARs are getting another one. With Battle partners so many Pokémon got new art rares but this set it’s only Rapidash (who has an Alt art in Sword/shield) and Ho-oh. The others have all had art cards previously.
Strange choices.
Strange choices.
Don’t count out the missing grass pokemon getting an AR yet, instead of Pinsir. Please don’t give it to Pinsir Creatures, that would honestly be devastating
Cool art, but they've started repeating art rares recently which is really disappointing... I was so excited when Scarlet and Violet started because unpopular Pokemon were getting cool illustrations, now they're doing a bunch over again :/ It was basically a guarantee they'd do Pokemon like Pikachu and Charizard a bunch of times, but Crustle? Joltik? I hope they keep art rares for Gen 10, or at least something like it so they can do more.
if they give another AR to pinsir, who already got one in SV era, and not pichu, who is finally getting its first card in YEARS, i repeat that i will be *devastated*
Joltik IR goes so hard tho
The non-trainer arts are saving this set!
idk guys i personally hope that the other ARs are also Crustle.
I really like the Illustration Rare art and it's quite a different style from the other Crustle Illustration Rare, plus I like Crustle...so I'm pretty happy with this. But I understand it is a little weird since the last IR was pretty recent. A little boring to just make another Safeguard 'mon, seems like the lowest effort way to make a card not be pure filler (but very likely not really viable since Mimikyu exists and is a Basic), but I mean, it is better than a pure filler card, so there's that.
I would argue that Mimikyu can easily get one shot while this has more than double its hp. Also the basic can auto evolve as long as you have one energy to attach to it so it's an "easy" stage 1.
